Abstract

Objective: We evaluate nationwide perioperative outcomes of complex EVAR and assess the volume-outcome association of complex EVAR. Summary of Background Data: Endovascular treatment with fenestrated (FEVAR) or branched (BEVAR) endografts is progressively used for excluding complex aortic aneurysms (complex AAs). It is unclear if a volumeoutcome association exists in endovascular treatment of complex AAs (complex EVAR). Methods: All patients prospectively registered in the Dutch Surgical Aneurysm Audit who underwent complex EVAR (FEVAR or BEVAR) between January 2016 and January 2020 were included. The effect of annual hospital volume on perioperative mortality was examined using multivariable logistic regression analyses. Patients were stratified into quartiles based on annual hospital volume to determine hospital volume categories. Results: We included 694 patients (539 FEVAR patients, 155 BEVAR patients). Perioperative mortality following FEVAR was 4.5% and 5.2% following BEVAR. Postoperative complication rates were 30.1% and 48.7%, respectively. The first quartile hospitals performed

Abstract

Contains fulltext : 251573.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) OBJECTIVE: The Dutch Surgical Aneurysm Audit (DSAA) initiative was established in 2013 to monitor and improve nationwide outcomes of aortic aneurysm surgery. The objective of this study was to examine whether outcomes of surgery for intact abdominal aortic aneurysms (iAAA) have improved over time. METHODS: Patients who underwent primary repair of an iAAA by standard endovascular (EVAR) or open surgical repair (OSR) between 2014 and 2019 were selected from the DSAA for inclusion. The primary outcome was peri-operative mortality trend per year, stratified by OSR and EVAR. Secondary outcomes were trends per year in major complications, textbook outcome (TbO), and characteristics of treated patients. The trends per year were evaluated and reported in odds ratios per year. RESULTS: In this study, 11 624 patients (74.8%) underwent EVAR and 3 908 patients (25.2%) underwent OSR. For EVAR, after adjustment for confounding factors, there was no improvement in peri-operative mortality (aOR [adjusted odds ratio] 1.06, 95% CI 0.94 - 1.20), while major complications decreased (2014: 10.1%, 2019: 7.0%; aOR 0.91, 95% CI 0.88 - 0.95) and the TbO rate increased (2014: 68.1%, 2019: 80.9%; aOR 1.13, 95% CI 1.10 - 1.16). For OSR, the peri-operative mortality decreased (2014: 6.1%, 2019: 4.6%; aOR 0.89, 95% CI 0.82 - 0.98), as well as major complications (2014: 28.6%, 2019: 23.3%; aOR 0.95, 95% CI 0.91 - 0.99). Furthermore, the proportion of TbO increased (2014: 49.1%, 2019: 58.3%; aOR 1.05, 95% CI 1.01 - 1.10). In both the EVAR and OSR group, the proportion of patients with cardiac comorbidity increased. CONCLUSION: Since the establishment of this nationwide quality improvement initiative (DSAA), all outcomes of iAAA repair following EVAR and OSR have improved, except for peri-operative mortality following EVAR which remained unchanged.

Abstract

La infección del sitio quirúrgico (surgical site infection, SSI) es una complicación quirúrgica grave que se puede prevenir mediante una desinfección cutánea preoperatoria. En los países de Europa occidental, la desinfección preoperatoria se realiza habitualmente usando clorhexidina o yodo en una solución a base de alcohol. Nuestro objetivo fue investigar si la clorhexidina alcohólica es superior al yodo con alcohol para prevenir la SSI.

Abstract

Amaurosis fugax has many causes. Its most common cause is transient hypoperfusion of the eye, caused by thromboemboli from atherosclerotic carotid arteries. Thromboembolism from carotid arteries is a risk factor for cerebral infarction, and preventive endarterectomy could be performed. This report describes a patient with a rare ophthalmic artery stenosis, which was the probable origin of thromboemboli. This finding prevented surgical intervention. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Abstract

Background: Surgical-site infection (SSI) is a serious surgical complication that can be prevented by preoperative skin disinfection. In Western European countries, preoperative disinfection is commonly performed with either chlorhexidine or iodine in an alcohol-based solution. This study aimed to investigate whether there is superiority of chlorhexidine-alcohol over iodine-alcohol for preventing SSI., Methods: This prospective cluster-randomized crossover trial was conducted in five teaching hospitals. All patients who underwent breast, vascular, colorectal, gallbladder or orthopaedic surgery between July 2013 and June 2015 were included. SSI data were reported routinely to the Dutch National Nosocomial Surveillance Network (PREZIES). Participating hospitals were assigned randomly to perform preoperative skin disinfection using either chlorhexidine-alcohol (0·5 per cent/70 per cent) or iodine-alcohol (1 per cent/70 per cent) for the first 3 months of the study; every 3 months thereafter, they switched to using the other antiseptic agent, for a total of 2 years. The primary endpoint was the development of SSI., Results: A total of 3665 patients were included; 1835 and 1830 of these patients received preoperative skin disinfection with chlorhexidine-alcohol or iodine-alcohol respectively. The overall incidence of SSI was 3·8 per cent among patients in the chlorhexidine-alcohol group and 4·0 per cent among those in the iodine-alcohol group (odds ratio 0·96, 95 per cent c.i. 0·69 to 1·35)., Conclusion: Preoperative skin disinfection with chlorhexidine-alcohol is similar to that for iodine-alcohol with respect to reducing the risk of developing an SSI., (© 2019 The Authors.

Abstract

An 82-year old man with a known aneurysm of the abdominal aorta (AAA) presented with a history of acute onset abdominal and back pain of a few hours. He was haemodynamically stable and had pain on pressure over the aneurysm. Ultrasound confirmed the AAA, but could not demonstrate or exclude rupture. Subsequent CT-scan confirmed a non-ruptured AAA and demonstrated a small, curvilinear, hyperdense structure thought to be a fish bone or chicken bone which had perforated the duodenum. On gastroduodenoscopy, a fish bone was found and removed. The patient's symptoms resolved completely within two days. In patients with a possible ruptured AAA, echographic or CT-scan investigations can confirm or exclude the condition thus avoiding unnecessary surgery. These investigations also gather preoperative data for potential endovascular reconstruction. Before the introduction of new visualization techniques a duodenum perforation resulting from the unnoticed swallowing of a sharp object could only be diagnosed by explorative laparotomy. Delay in diagnosis leads to high mortality.

Abstract

The clinical diagnosis of a ruptured aortic aneurysm is unreliable, and in haemodynamically stable patients both ultrasound and CT are used to improve diagnostic accuracy. In any patient with a suspected ruptured aneurysm, ultrasound is done upon arrival of the patient in the hospital to confirm or exclude the presence of an aortic aneurysm. If facilities for endovascular reconstruction are available at the hospital, an immediate CT scan with intravenous contrast follows, to find out if and how endovascular treatment should be performed. If endovascular reconstruction is not available, a CT scan without using contrast is carried out. If the CT scan shows a ruptured aneurysm, the patient is transported to the Operating Department without further delay. If the CT scan does not show any signs of rupture, there is time for further investigation. If no alternative condition to explain the patient's symptoms is found, further diagnostic tests such as repeat ultrasound, CT with contrast material and laboratory tests can be performed. If no other serious condition emerges, the aortic aneurysm should be considered symptomatic. In this case, the patient should undergo a rapid, but thorough pre-operative work-up, and go for operation as soon as possible by a rested and experienced operating team as part of the regular day programme.
